Marvel: Awakening the Universe

Peter looked at Gwen who called him with confused eyes, his pupils focusing quickly, and then he came back to his senses: "Gwen?"

Gwen smiled slightly: "Nothing. By the way, are you attending the grade dance this year?"

Peter smiled sheepishly: "Sorry, I probably can't attend."

If Hawke didn't attend the dance because he had no money and no female companion, then Peter didn't attend simply because he didn't have a female companion.

But the reason Hawke didn't have a female companion was because he was too lazy to find one.

If he wanted to find one, with his looks, figure and the temperament honed by years of boxing training, it would be easy for him to find a female classmate who was willing to be his companion.

Peter simply couldn't find a female companion.

To be precise, it was Peter who insisted on hanging himself on a tree belonging to Mary Jane.

Mary Jane, Peter's neighbor, is also an eleventh-grade student.

Maybe Peter thought that no one knew about his secret crush on Mary Jane, but in fact, most people already knew.

After all, everyone is aware that in this situation, no girl would agree to Peter turning herself into Mary Jane's substitute.

But the real Mary Jane would not accept Peter's invitation to the dance.

Peter also didn't want to go to the ball alone and watch his dream goddess dancing with another man at the ball.

Gwen wasn't surprised by Peter's answer either.

Because she was a friend of Mary Jane, and when the grade dance was just confirmed, Mary Jane found her and put forward her name and her date's name.

Harry Osborne.

Ok.

He fits the standard of boyfriend Mary Jane has always wanted.

Gwen thought about it in her heart, but didn't say much. After getting Peter's answer, she nodded and turned away.

but……

After turning around and leaving, Gwen seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously turned her head to look behind her.

Peter was still standing there, looking in a daze at the direction Hawk had just left.

a few days later.

Suddenly, cheers were heard from Central City High School.

It’s vacation, it’s vacation, the summer vacation that students love most has finally arrived.

"L, have you planned your summer vacation schedule?"

"Well, let's go to Hawaii."

"Tom and I are going to Slovakia."

"Hiss, Slovakia, didn't you watch the news?"

"what?"

"Didn't they say last week that a tourist disappeared in Slovakia?"

"Fake news. Besides, Tom and I are so strong, what could possibly happen?"

As the holiday approached, students walked towards the parking lot in groups of three or four, talking about their holiday plans.

Vehicles started up one after another, and in less than a moment, the entire Central City University seemed to be empty.

The noise that originally filled the entire school also disappeared.

Only the percussion sounds in the old gymnasium still rang out rhythmically.

About ten minutes later.

The sound of the beating disappeared.

Hawke stood there, adjusting his breathing while lowering his eyes and removing the bandages wrapped around his hands.

Although he can now hit the steel plate with his bare hands without getting red, the habit has been formed for more than a thousand days, so he still habitually wraps himself with bandages when boxing.

Just as Hawke removed the bandage, his eyebrows raised.

next second.

A voice came from behind.

"It is said that this gymnasium will be turned into a swimming pool next semester."

“…Peter.”

Hawke turned around and looked at Peter, who was standing not far away with a face that looked very similar to Maguire. "It's not just a rumor, it's true."

Peter smiled but said nothing.

This is another reason why Hawke likes the first generation Spider-Spider.

Compared to the slightly talkative nature of The Amazing Spider-Man and the extremely talkative nature of Holland's Tech Spider-Man, he still prefers the restraint of the first generation Spider-Spider.

Same as him.

Talent is restrained.

Not good at speaking.

Hawke thought about it, then put the bandage back into his pocket and looked at Peter: "You came here today not just to tell me that this gymnasium will be converted into a swimming pool, right?"

Peter quickly shook his head: "No."

"what is that."

"Uh……"

Peter was about to speak, but he drew back the words and looked at Hawke hesitantly.

Hawke smiled.

He looked at Peter, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, but did not say anything. Instead, he walked towards his backpack, put on his shoulder bag, and walked outside.

"Happy summer vacation, Peter."

"Bah!"

Hawke was almost at the door when he heard a sound like a spider spinning silk. The moment he turned around, he punched out with his right fist.

Peter's spider sense, which was shooting out spider silk not far away, kicked in and he subconsciously moved to the side.

next second.

"Oh!"

A bench in the old gymnasium suddenly broke in the middle.

Peter's eyes widened as he looked at the broken bench.

Hawke took off the spider silk that was stuck to his shoulder bag.

Very sticky.

He shook it hard a few times before finally getting the ball of spider silk out.

Peter had come back to his senses by now and looked back at Hawke.

"Hawk, you too..."

"I'm not."

Hawke looked up and interrupted Peter directly.

The reason he has the strength he has today is due to his unremitting struggle and hard work day after day.

Of course.

In this process, plug-ins may have played a role.

But not much.

Hawke firmly believed that even without the cheat, he could still awaken his microcosm.

Yes.

Anyway, the cheater has left now and has no say anymore, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.

But that wasn't the real reason he interrupted Peter.

Hawke gave Peter a look.

Peter, who has spider sense, understood it instantly.

Hawke smiled.

"Have a great summer, Peter, and see you next semester."

"...Okay, see you next semester."

Peter took back what he wanted to say this time and responded.

Hawke stopped talking and walked out of the gym.

then……

He looked at Gwen outside the door, a hint of surprise flashing across his face: "Gwen?"

Gwen: "..."

Chapter 20 The past was the past, and the present is now

Hawke looked surprised.

Gwen fell silent as she looked at Hawke's expression.

Fake.

Too fake.

Gwen couldn't help but give a heartfelt comment.

"Your acting is so fake."

"Feel sorry."

Hawke shrugged: "I'm not a professional actor."

Yes.

Gwen was already outside.

To be precise, he came over just when Peter was about to confront him, but stopped when he heard the noise inside the gym.

Gwen thought Hawke and Peter wouldn't notice.

but……

After awakening his microcosm, Hawke, who controlled his first five senses, could hear not only Gwen's footsteps but even the sound of falling leaves behind the gymnasium as long as he wanted to.

The same goes for Peter who has spider sense, not to mention that this version of Peter is a genuine spider-spirit Peter who has undergone a mutation.

However, Peter has only just mutated and has not yet fully adapted. In addition, Hawk's punch just now also shocked Peter.

But Peter reacted quickly after being reminded by Hawke's eyes, and caught sight of Gwen's breathing outside the gymnasium.

So the two of them tacitly chose to keep quiet.

Look.

This is another reason why Hawke likes the original Spider-Ghost the most.

He makes no comment on The Amazing Spider-Man.

But Tech Spider-Man?

Ha ha.

Hawke had no doubt that if it was Holland or Spider-Man, that guy probably wouldn't understand what he meant, and might even continue to chatter on and on.

wrong.

It’s not maybe, it’s certain.
